Submit a pull request from the command line

Github offers a git extension for augmenting the git command line tool with github specific functionality. This extension is called hub.

hub adds the git alias pull-request to git. This alias/command creates a pull request from the current branch to master by default:

git pull-request

Additionally, you can specify which branch would be the base with the first argument and which branch would be the head with the second argument, like so:

git pull-request devolop feature/add_colors
